Best Road Trip Songs

If you’re anything like I am, you enjoy listening to some
music when you take a ride of any distance, so a list of the best songs for a
road trip is essential. What kind of songs does meet those criteria? Something it
takes with an edge and some Songs with a context and the proper beat. While
you’re riding, you need music that drives you on and gets your heart pumping.
My playlist needs to create a rebellious and thundering mood to get me in tune
with the music and the machine, so with that in mind, I would love to create a playlist perfect for their fusion with a long ride.

But it’s a common problem, that there are so many good songs
out there that it’s often difficult to winnow them down to a manageable list,
at least a list short enough to fit on your MP3 player. The following mix tape
is for all you motorcycle riders out there. I tried to gather some songs that
speak to the emotions one feels traveling long distances on the road. Check
some of my favorite Road trip song which I would always like to play on my go.
